Air Jordan 31 Royal Release Date Info 01

Jordan Brand was fairly straightforward with the inspiration behind the Air Jordan 31 – Michael Jordan’s first signature silhouette served as the blueprint for the design as it’s the first model since the Air Jordan 1 to feature a Nike Swoosh on the side panel while the premium leather touches, original Wings logo, and overall shape are all inspired by Peter Moore’s AJ1 design. The first few colorways to release have all been inspired by iconic Air Jordan 1 colorways, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Air Jordan 1 “Royal” will be referenced atop the Air Jordan XXX1 in the new year.

Today we get a few teaser images of the upcoming Air Jordan 31 Royal slated to arrive at retailers on January 21st for $185 USD. The usual gradient hits the synthetic leather and Flyweave upper as a black heel gives way to a Game Royal shade by the toecap. Vibrant Game Royal accents hit throughout on the Jumpman branding as well. Does this mean that the Air Jordan 1 Royal will be releasing this January as well? We’ll have to wait and find out.
